Escape the city and discover the forest-style Little Venice hidden in Xuancheng

This place truly amazed me! Thousands of acres of dawn redwood forest paired with emerald green lake water 🌲 really give the illusion of being in the Venetian water city. Most importantly, there are few people, beautiful scenery, and it's super fun! I fell in love with it the first time I brought my kid here~

🌲【Must-try Activities】
1️⃣ Feeding the deer: The adorable spotted deer that will chase after carrots 🥕. It's best to come in the morning when the deer are most energetic.
2️⃣ Forest slide: Zooming down from the mountaintop is super thrilling, kids love it the most.
3️⃣ Lakeside wooden cabins: Open the window to see the dawn redwood forest, and in the early morning, you can even see the thin mist over the lake.
4️⃣ Off-road vehicle experience: Breathe in the forest air, sweat it out, and driving the off-road vehicle is super exciting.
5️⃣ Special tea drinks: Enjoy a special tea by the water’s edge, relaxing and savoring the moment.
